Do you love your clothes? But, like, really love your clothes? Yes, yes, it all very well loving clothes, but we’re talking about loving YOUR clothes. Engaging with them. Learning how to love them for longer than one season. Learning how to love your clothes for a long, long time. How to give those clothes the best in life, from when they’re shiny and brand new, until they’re well, a wee bit worn and bobbled.

Need some help? Fear not.

In conjunction with Zero Waste Scotland, and fashion bloggers Betty and Bee, there’s going to be a fantastic Love Your Clothes event in the Ocean Terminal Limited Edition store next week (on Thursday January 22), where you can learn all about really loving your clothes.

Fashion bloggers, Betty (orange) and Bee (blue) !

Lynn Wilson from Zero Waste Scotland, will share with you the importance of investing in quality and design when buying. Quality design that lasts longer, remains covetable, and is something you will want to love, keep, share or pass on. Lovely designs just like those showcased by the designers in the Limited Edition store, of course.

You will have the chance to shop on the night, and the fun doesn’t end there. Fashion bloggers Betty and Bee – check them out at foreveryoursbetty.com and beewaits.com – will be there to chat all things clothes. These girls love quality designs, limited edition trends, and also breathing new life into vintage pieces.

“Loving our clothes has always come easy to us, as seasoned bargain hunters and lovers of shopping local. We’re strong believers in shopping smart and making the most of our wardrobe – be that borrowing bits from one another, finding new ways to wear or customising older pieces to give them a refresh,” said Claire, the Bee half of Betty and Bee.

“From vintage rails to sample sales, we’re always on the hunt for quality pieces that we’ll love for years to come, and we can’t wait to share our tips and tricks at this event in the fab Limited Edition store.”

Oh, and of course, there will be fizz on offer, and plenty of shopping time. If you want to attend this event, then you have to email cathy@genuinepr.com, and she will book you in. The event will run from 6pm to 8pm, Thursday January 22. The Limited Edition store closes on January 31, so this is a great way to see it if you haven’t already.

This is an exclusive event, with around 50 places ony available, so get emailing now!

It’s that time of year again; the students are back, there are parties in your street (if you live where I do…) and a whole new batch of young freshers are ready to step into the world … and become cynical like the rest of us. Oh we jest! A whole new batch of students are ready to share their student fashion musthaves with the world – a lot of them on blogs.

We found this fab article in The Guardian, where they asked 13 fashion blogger/students to name their student fashion musthaves. Back in my day it was an oversize cardigan from the men’s department at Marks and Spencer and a pair of Doc Marten boots.

But now there are so many more student fashion musthaves. So, we’ve read through their list and here are their recommendations!

1.PLAID SHIRT

Jess, from Wolf In The City recommends the plaid shirt, and who are we to disagree on this one. Totally versatile, timeless and oh-so-student. This one’s from New Look, for £12.99.

2. CHUNKY BOOTS

Rosalind from Clothes, Cameras and Coffee chose a good pair of boots. And so did we – this big old chunky pair from New Look, £34.99, which will get you from lectures to lunch, to the union bar and home again.

3. TAILORING

Marcus from Sartorial Sin, reckons a well-tailored navy suit is a man’s essential in AW. If that’s what you want, then look no further than this one from H&M – trousers, £24.99 and jacket, £39.99.

4. BLACK & GREY

Another one for the blokes, this time from fashion fresher, Aaron, who reckons black and grey will cut it for the guys this winter. That’s not exactly ground-breaking, is it? But we agree – black and grey are always good. Team bomber or biker or tailored jackets with jeans, and keep things quirky with a flat cap, perhaps?

Chloe, at Oh Chlo, kept it simple with a chunky necklace. Make it a big old gothic-y dark one for winter, like this one from New Look, £17.99

6. TRAINERS

Amy, from Fashion Junkie reckons a good pair of trainers are key in your student fashion musthaves. Who are we to argue. Like Amy, we recommend Adidas, and we love the lace detail on these Superstars, £62, from Schuh

7. JEANS

Ngoni, blogger at IAMNRC, reckons jeans are top of the student fashion musthaves list. Of course they are! And skinnies, are a staple now, not a trend. So, get yourself onto GAP before September 18, and grab a £44.95 pair for £29. Result!

8. STATEMENT TOP

Clarissa, blogger at Vintage Doll Risa, chose a statement top. Everyone needs more than one statement top, so this one, we reckon, is an everyone fashion musthave, not just on the list of student fashion musthaves, agreed?

Hannah, from Hannah Louise Fashion, has had her biker jacket for years! It’s a student fashion musthaves list staple. Buy one like this one from H&M, £34.99

11. KNITWEAR

Yep, to keep warm in that cold flat, knitwear is perenially popular with students. Jack, from Oh So Jack chose a cream waffle knit, we reckon guys will love this New Look version too, £32.99

12. PLAID DRESS

Probably doesn’t have to be plaid, but plaid is so on trend this season – more on that later this week. Oh, yes, sorry, a dress. Phoebe, from That’s So Phoebe chose a plaid dress to wear with bare legs ankle socks and boots, and then thick tights when the weather turns. Great shout on the student fashion musthaves list. This one’s from New Look, £24.99

13. BOMBER JACKET

Last, but not least, it’s Katie, from Eco Vintage, who chose a bright bomber jacket. Her’s was vintage, of course, but there are some out there in the shopping malls. JOY‘s black textured version, £39, is versatile, and H&M’s lion head version, £29.99, is bonkers. You decide!
